SMIM has achieved 4.6 of perplexity vs 20 for GPT 3 with and with a thousand less parameters https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.02645 This is the breakthrough of the year and will be silent until the few nerds like me propagate the news to the mainstream&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2003.02645/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
